Place for a hen do

Not for me, obviously, but for my betrothed.

It will be a group of 30something women. Criteria are:

Not chavvy Not too young a crowd Dinner followed by dancing (all in the same venue) Fun music Relatively central

I await your combined wisdom.

Hmm…

I think you might find a few ideas here, here, and also here.

2008-05-12T20:28:58Z

Your second here had no responses. Not even one. How is that helpful, hmmmmm?

The Sanderson Hotel

I ate in the Sanderson last week and it was very nice. Although the waiter slash actor was well brown nosing who we was with because he heard the company name and thought he could land himself the acting part of a lifetime, or something. That was a bit weird.

I don’t know what you’re talking about Babb. All lies.

2008-05-13T10:47:24Z

What bit is a lie? That Carla eats in the Sanderson? Or that the waiter slash actor was a waiter slash actor? Or that he was well brown nosing?

Oh right. You were talking to Babb. Well, I still don’t get it.

My second link isn’t unhelpful. See?

2008-05-13T10:53:54Z

That Carla eats in the Sanderson?

Things have changed in your absence, Juvey.

2008-05-13T10:59:56Z

Really? Are you a hooker?

”...it doesn’t get more fab than Selfridges. This glittering shrine to retail therapy stocks everything a girl could possibly want. Think amazing handbags, an enormous beauty hall and rack upon rack of the most gorgeous designer clothes. All under one roof. If you can drag yourself away from the tills, there are lots of tempting edible treats on offer too – and there’s even a champagne bar!”

I went to a hen do that culminated in dinner at the Lost Society in Clapham. That was fun because it’s a nice bar/restaurant thing. And you can do dancing upstairs if you can wedge yourself in amongst the posh people jigging about.

2008-05-13T11:25:09Z

Think amazing handbags

No. Just no.

2008-05-13T17:15:33Z

How amazing? Are they shiny? Do they have a front pocket? I have to have a front pocket for my keys and oyster.

”...the posh people jigging about”

gouges own eyes out

Thanks all.

Ben – they are welcome to come to my place. I will put out twiglets and put up balloons
